Nehemiah:1:2-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
That Hanani ,
one of my brethren ,
came ,
he and certain men of Judah ;
and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped ,
which were left of the captivity ,
and concerning Jerusalem .
*
And they said unto me ,
The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach :
the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down ,
and the gates thereof are burned with fire .
*
And it came to pass ,
when I heard these words ,
that I sat down and wept ,
and mourned certain days ,
and fasted ,
and prayed before the God of heaven ,
*
And said ,
I beseech thee ,
O LORD God of heaven ,
the great and terrible God ,
that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments :
*
Let thine ear now be attentive ,
and thine eyes open ,
that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant ,
which I pray before thee now ,
day and night ,
for the children of Israel thy servants ,
and confess the sins of the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
which we have sinned against thee :
both I and my fathers house have sinned .
*
We have dealt very corruptly against thee ,
and have not kept the commandments ,
nor the statutes ,
nor the judgments ,
which thou commandedst thy servant Moses .
